Understanding RPG Compiler Messages 

There are three kinds of compiler messages:  informational messages,
warnings and errors.  An informational message reminds you of potential
error situations that you may have overlooked.  A warning indicates that
there may be an error, but it does not prevent a successful compilation.
An error means that the problem prevents a successful compilation.  You
must correct errors.  See Appendix A in the HP RPG Reference Manual for
explanations of compiler messages and how to correct errors.

Informational messages, warnings and errors are shown at the end of the
compiler listing.  Figure 6-17 shows what informational messages look
like.

                       Comments 

 9001               This is the number which identifies the message.  Use
                    this number to look up the message in Appendix A of
                    the HP RPG Reference Manual.

 I                  This is the letter code for Informational (I)
                    messages.  Warnings have a W letter code and terminal
                    errors have a T letter code.  You must correct
                    Terminal errors before you can successfully compile
                    the program.

 INDICATOR...       This is a brief description of the message.  For a
                    complete description and corrective action, see
                    Appendix A in the HP RPG Reference Manual.

 0443               This is the compiler-generated line number to which
                    the message corresponds.
